Hi, I have both T-mobile and Ptel pay-as-you-go plans. With these plans you buy a SIM card from the phone provider, stick it in the phone, put some credit on your account and start using the phone. I don't know about Straight Talk but I think they probably have similar plans. Look in their website for an option to buy a SIM card. If they have it, it should work...

Yes! I bought this phone and bought a SIM card from Straight Talk and I use their service! :)
12221
Yes, I have one I use with Straight Talk. I recommend Straight Talk, but buy a different phone.

It's an unlocked phone, out will work with tmobile, at&t;, simple mobile. Not sure about straight talk, if the use a sim card and they operate with in the spectrum that the phone can receive, then it might, if your company does not use a sim, then it might not.

First off...don't buy this model 2nd yes it works with any GSM company that uses a regular size sim card

I use mine with Straight Talk and it works great. All you have to do is call them, ask them to send you a SIM card (It's free) and insert the SIM card into the slot inside your phone casing. After the SIM is in, get your card and activate as usual.

Don't get this phone, trust me, it isn't worth the hassle. Email me brighamray55@gmail.com for further questions. First off, the phone may or may not work when it gets to your house. Mine did but it has a dead pixel in the corner that really bugs me. The os is smooth, until you try to run most applications. The MTK soc is poorly optimized by developers, which means most games will not run smoothly. They said the device will get kit Kat, in May, still doesnt have it. Customer support is awful, good luck getting anywhere with them. The camera sucks really bad, most pictures don't turn out. Conclusion, buy the motto g 2nd gen, that phone is guranteed android L which will double its battery life. That phone actually possesses a camera that can shoot and contains an soc highly supported by developers so most everything on Google play runs amazing. Trust me when I say, get the moto g.

Yes, mine worked with straight talk. All I can say is be careful, if you are in the USA there is no warranty on it because it was manufactured in the UK. They will not honor the warranty unless you have friends or family in England to whom you can send the phone if it needs repair. They will have to send it to the repair site. They don't tell you that. No warranty. Sad.

Unfortunately, Your phone wont be able to work on any carriers but AT&T; and T-mobile because they are the only 2 companies providing services for GSM phones aka unlocked phones. You cant update it to use on straight talk because it is not going to do any good either. I hope this helped ya.

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND STRAIGHT TALK TO MY WORST ENEMY!! It was pure hell not to mention took money from my account assured me the phone was activated and it wasn't and gave me the run around about my refund!! Version has several plans that are available and it was fast and only cost me $45

The phone is unlocked. I don't think you would have any problems with straight talk but in the event you were to the phone can be returned for refund or trade. The only phones that I have experienced having problems with straight talk are Apples.

I am not selling a phone so can not provide any information about a phone. Be sure to buy from a person of company that has many sales already, that is an indication they can be trusted.

I have this phone and love it. Really. I could answer most questions for you probably. I can answer the sim card question but I don't know what that is for sure. I might just be using different terminolgy. If that's just the memory chip thing that you can transfer data to, it has that.

Yes! You need to buy a prepaid card from Straight Talk. Mine works fine, but we have noticed with this phone it is a bit slow and it does not do well with the towers in our area. I like the phone, but it is not my favorite.

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.

thank you all. had seen the phone for a great deal and now it's sold out, temp out of stock. so now looking at different phone, lg 530, not sure if it's newer or older but being an lg would think i'm still good to go. long story short, coming off of some health issues, trying to get by with limited resource's atm, get back on my feet. trying to check it out now, spec's and all so if it's doable, hopefully will still work, and thanks again.

Honestly this really isn't a "smart" phone. It doesn't use android and there really aren't any possible upgrades for it, it's just a basic phone. We just use them for messaging and calls and really the basics. It does have a touch screen but it is pretty sensitive so you could make a lot of "pocket" calls. Really if I were you I would find something newer. We still have 6 months until our upgrade and we cannot wait. Good luck.

As I understand it, "No". However, although I'm new to Androids and other smart phones, I also understand that this phone is "locked" and, if unlocked, can be used for, say, Straight Talk. Try to find an explanation to the "locking" and "unlocking" of phones! That might be your answer.Cordially, Jonathan

You would have to get one that specifies Verizon or that runs on the same type of network (CDMA or GSM...I think MAYBE Verizon is CDMA). Mine is an AT&T Unlocked phone which means I can use it on the AT&T network even though Straight Talk is my provider.

Hey Jerry, so from my understanding you can switch your SIM card to the straight talk phone and you should be able to use it. I would definitely suggest asking them if you are able to use it with them just to double check though:)

You would need to have an Unlimited data plan with Straight Talk so I imagine there isn't going to be any carrier that allows the internet access without data. I also imagine if you tried to work around it, you carrier may cut your service. Call your carrier to confirm compatibility.
